Abstract Scales, etudes, performance repertoire and orchestral excerpts are the basic teaching materials for the cello student. In addition to scales and arpeggios, etudes provide both the basic facility and the technical foundation for the student’s development. Etudes offer a concentrated study of one or more technical aspects in a short musical form. Depending upon when and whom written, etudes differ both in style and technical demands. Cello students entering colleges or universities are initially at different playing levels and although they may require different study materials, there are some common cello etude books that may apply to the majority. The purpose of this treatise is to serve as a reference source for common cello etudes used by teachers in American colleges and universities. This study provides an orientation to pedagogical materials currently in use, and it analyzes the criteria and rationale behind them. The research for this treatise utilizes surveys sent to college cello teachers from the list provided by the American String Teachers Association. All responses in the survey were coded to be analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences using the Frequencies and Crosstabulations subprograms. A total of thirty-three completed surveys were received. Primary questions were the most widely used cello etude books in American colleges and the criteria used by teachers in selecting cello etude books for their students.
